Fitness differences suppress the number of mating types in evolving isogamous species [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 Sexual reproduction is not always synonymous with the existence of two morphologically different sexes; isogamous species produce sex cells of equal size, typically falling into multiple distinct self-incompatible classes, termed mating types.

Phylogenetic Analysis of Species Using Mating Type Genes and Distribution of Mating Types in Iran [PDF]
The Plant Pathology Journal, 2022 Phaeosphaeria species are pathogenic on wheat, barley and a wide range of wild grasses. To analyze mating type loci of the Phaeosphaeria species and investigate mating type distribution in Iran, we sequenced mating type loci of 273 Phaeosphaeria isolates

Conditioning on parental mating types can reduce necessary assumptions for Mendelian randomization [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2023 Mendelian randomization (MR) has become a common tool used in epidemiological studies. However, when confounding variables are correlated with the instrumental variable (in this case, a genetic/variant/marker), the estimation can remain biased even with ...

Multiplex polymerase chain reaction as an improved method for screening Histoplasma capsulatum mating types [PDF]
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2018 Histoplasmosis is a systemic mycosis infection caused by Histoplasma capsulatum, a heterothallic ascomycete. The sexual reproduction of this fungus is regulated by the mating type (MAT1) locus that contains MAT1-1 and MAT1-2 idiomorphs, which were ...

Selecting one of several mating types through gene segment joining and deletion in Tetrahymena thermophila. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2013 The unicellular eukaryote Tetrahymena thermophila has seven mating types. Cells can mate only when they recognize cells of a different mating type as non-self. As a ciliate, Tetrahymena separates its germline and soma into two nuclei.

Evolutionary responses to increased opportunity for sexual selection in yeast [PDF]
BMC Ecology and EvolutionSexual selection contributes to biodiversity and the costs and benefits of sexual reproduction. In organisms where sex is infrequent, these impacts of sexual selection are likely to be limited.
